Quicksilver 810 Arvor — Maintenance
42
Solvents are flammable. Exercise proper care. Wear rubber
gloves during all cleaning activity. Use caution when
cleaning around stitching or decorative trim as these
solvents could seriously damage such areas.
When staining from build-up does occur, use only cleaning agents that are recommended for marine
gel coat. Never use an abrasive cleaner to wash your boat’s hull, nor use an abrasive pad to attempt to
remove stubborn stains. Never use strong solvents to clean.
3. Component Maintenance
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is strong and corrosion resistant, but still requires maintenance to keep its appearance.
Frequent routine cleaning of your stainless steel will help maintain the finish.
Quicksilver® recommends that you wash stainless steel components with mild soap and cold or
lukewarm water after every use of the boat. If added protection is necessary, apply a cleaning wax.
Even the finest cleaning powders can scratch or burnish a mill-rolled surface. On polished finishes,
rubbing or wiping should be done in the direction of the polish lines, not across them.
Crevice corrosion, a brownish coloring which occurs where two pieces of stainless hardware meet is
caused by impurities in water and air. It can be easily cleaned with a good grade marine polish using a
sponge, cloth or small bristled brush (for tight and confined spaces).
Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt, ultra-violet rays etc. will take their toll on vinyl products causing them to
lose their luster and texture. To clean, remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and water
solution. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel. More difficult stains can be cleaned using rubbing
alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). Rinse cleaned area with fresh water and dry with a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth or towel.
Your cushions are not waterproof. They are constructed of open-cell foam and will absorb and hold
water. Do not leave the cushions in standing water or exposed to heavy, prolonged rain. If, in the
event your cushions become waterlogged, remove the foam from the cushion, press as much water as
you can from the foam and allow to air dry. To prevent mildew, keep the vinyl dry and make sure that
moisture does not accumulate between the cushions.
Never use abrasive cleaners, detergents or soft scrub type
cleaners to clean stainless steel. Never use abrasive pads,
brushes or sponges to attempt to remove stubborn stains.
Never use strong solvents or detergents which contain
chlorine, and never use silver cleaners.
The cleaner your stainless steel can be kept, the greater the
assurance of optimum corrosion resistance. Without proper
care even the best stainless steel will corrode.
Canvas
Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and deterioration from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas to
degrade over time. The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, pollen, etc.
are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The canvas can be cleaned
without being removed from the installation.
